Obsession Sheer

Absolutely delighted with this version of obsession! I do love obsession but I find I can so easily be too heavy handed with it and have to really be in the mood. My mother always wore it years ago and so its taken some time to get over the "mumsy" feel I get from the original. I think because in my mind this is "different" I can really appreciate the fragrance more and I enjoy the fresher opening. If you like obsession on others and thought you caouldnt carry it off yourself- try this for sure!! This still drys down to the same gorgeous, creamy comforting yet alluring obsession i remember so is a definite winner for me. WARNING - this is vanishing fast from the market! get it now before it sky rockets in price!

at first it opens with a quick bite of citruses, even too quick to notice if you are applying in a hurry. then all I can smell for entire day is soft incense, pinch of coriander spice, powdery vanilla and just a touch of amber as it's fading. it is never a loud performer, rather an intimate companion to my nose only. I was searching for a 'foggy' perfume to evoke a sight I like to experience - in the early mornings going over the bridge and seeing river of my town covered with fog and little birds floating on it's surface looking like paper origami's from a distance. now I can invoke those moments just by breathing when I have Obsession Sheer on me!

This fragrance is exactly what you'd expect, a lighter, more wearable version of the classic Obsession. I have a bottle that I'm carefully using because it's hard to find. Sheer is definitely a flanker to the original - unlike Obsession Summer and Secret Obsession which are less close to the classic. Sheer Obsession is beautiful. It has good longevity and modest dispersion which makes it perfect for times when the classic Obsession would be too much. If you managed to secure a bottle of Sheer, then you're one lucky collector.

Absolutely love this perfume and am so sorry they've discontinued it! I seriously don't understand why best scents are limited edition! I never wore the original Obsession, but from what i know of the smell, it's much heavier and "demanding". This version is truly sheer, it's exquisite without giving your headache and very sexy as well. I wish i could've stocked up! Now i am searching for a scent that would resemble it...

I adore Obsession (the original) on my friend, but sadly it does not like me. Something (I suspect it's the patch) gets musty and sour on me. The sheer version loves me, thank goodness. It actually smells on me, as it does on her. One of the members of my collection that elicits compliments from people who have to sit next to me for hours at a time :-)
